SECRETARY DANIELS ANNOUNCES SPRING STATEWIDE NOTARY PUBLIC SEMINAR SCHEDULE
Friday, Feb 29, 2008
Statewide notary seminars are offered through the Secretary of State's Business and Commercial Services division year-round.
Secretary of State Charlie Daniels today announced the 2008 spring statewide notary public seminar schedule, which includes around 20 sessions in as many counties from March 19th through May 29th. The seminars are offered free-of-charge to approximately 56,000 current and any aspiring notaries public around the state.
The seminars, conducted by the Secretary of State’s Business and Commercial Services (BCS) division, have provided continuing education to around 3,000 notaries public in Arkansas since August 2005. The statewide series supplements the year-round classes held at the BCS office in Little Rock the second Wednesday of each month.
“I am proud to offer these professional training opportunities to the thousands of notaries public doing business in Arkansas everyday,” said Secretary Daniels. “These sessions provide comprehensive and up-t0-date information on legislation and issues affecting the state’s notaries public.”
The 90-minute course covers the application process, jurisdiction, and powers of a notary public. It also includes information on administering oaths; electronic notarization; and taking acknowledgements, affidavits, and depositions. Additionally, the course defines what documents notaries may and may not notarize and the requirements of the notary commission.
Pre-registration for both the statewide seminars and the regularly scheduled training sessions in Little Rock is required. Additional on-location seminars may be requested for groups of 10 or more. Seminar requests and pre-registration can be completed online at the Secretary of State’s website at www.sos.arkansas.gov/corp_forms_notary_seminars.html or by calling BCS at 501-682-5282 or toll-free at 888-233-0325.
